What it is, is the idiotic narrative about Canada's alleged "Stanley Cup drought", and a backlash against the idea that we, as Canadians, must cheer for any Canadian team to win the Cup for our nation's glory.
So there's two big ways this goes: either one can end up cheering against all Canadian teams because they hate that narrative. Or they end up cheering against all Canadian teams because they buy the narrative, but desperately want Calgary to be the team that pulls it off.
Most, I suspect, don't care one way or another. We just hate Vancouver, Edmonton and Toronto and are generally indifferent to Montreal, Winnipeg and Ottawa.

The other side of this is that you also just know that whatever Canadian Team wins it, their fans are just going to be absolutely insufferable.
Toronto? We're still hearing about 1967, could you imagine if they won in the modern era?
Insufferable.
If I have to put up with insufferable fans they'd better at least be Flames fans.
